I don't know how much you're getting paid as a doctor David, but the last time I checked, the US healthcare industry was a $1.1 TRILLION market, $500 billion of that from Federal spending alone. hcfa.gov Now if you think a mere $1-2 billion will resolve the problem, I think you need to reassess the data contained in that link. Again, that the liberal way... Throw money at a problem, especially if it's just the taxpayer dollar.. We don't have to account for that money, now do we? Why don't we just add a 10% tax licensing tax on practicing physicians and then set up an indigent fund.... Isn't that what we essentially claim to do with tobacco? Taxing it with the justification that smokers place a greater burden on the medical system than non-smokers? Too bad smokers die earlier than non-smokers, or else they actually might have a logical argument.
